CD Leganes general manager Martin Ortega has backed Yan Diomande to thrive at Real Madrid. This comes amid reports linking him with a €120 million move to the Santiago Bernabeu, and fans have been reacting.
Putting the Ivory Coast international in the same bracket as Lamine Yamal and Ousmane Dembele, Ortega revealed that the forward’s ability to beat defenders can be compared to the Barcelona and PSG duo.
He added that Diomande’s two-footed capability also makes him a standout forward in the current market.
His words, “We knew he had exceptional, out-of-the-ordinary qualities.
He was the best player on the pitch. He scored a screamer, and Borja Jimenez said right then that he wouldn’t be going back to the reserves.
He made his debut at the Bernabeu at 18 years old and his legs didn’t shake. He has an incredible amount of self-confidence. I am convinced he has more than enough quality to succeed there.”
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.
Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.
It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.
Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
